Elvis Costello - Lip Service Lyrics






You left the motor running.
But I know you're so attractive.
Getting in some sharp practice.
You better not do anything reckless.

But everybody is going through the motions.
Everybody is going through the motions.
Are you really only going through the motions?

Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me

Don't make any sudden movements.
These are dangerous amusements.
When did you become so choosy?
Don't act like you're above me;
just look at your shoes.

[Repeat bridge and chorus]

But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me
But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me
But if you change your mind
you can send a little letter to me

    "Are you really only goin' through the motions?"

    Terrific song, Costello's best album I agree. Tremendous bass work from supremely talented Bruce Thomas.
    Takes me back, I was 16 in 1978. Thanks for posting.

  3. S.... L....

    For Godsake what's happened to the sound?? This is terrible, unlistenable. I managed to last about 40 seconds. Whoever posted this is an idiot.

  4. B.... L....

    First EC song I ever heard. I've been a fan ever since.

    B.... L....

    One of his best "pop" hits. :-)

  5. N.... L....

    Lip service is cheap,and  worthless.

  6. M.... B....

    I refuse to communicate with any one who can't speak to me using some semblance of proper English to my face or write to me on fine paper in script enclosed in an envelope with an artistic stamp on it.

    M.... B....

    Mike Brodie Ok.

  7. W.... W....

    one of the best
